Is DMPS now FDA approved?
A. No. Its current status is as a bulk chemical that may be used in compounding. It is included on the FDA list of Bulk Chemicals That May Be Used In Pharmacy Compounding. Final approval of the list is still pending. The appearance of DMPS or any chemical on this list in no way should be construed as FDA approval. FDA approval generally infers that a drug has been subjected to clinical trials under an IND application to ascertain its safety and efficacy. This has not been done in the US with DMPS as of this date.
